From The Quit-Whining Dept:
Daring Fireball | Loony Tunes

Basic Premise: Apple discovered that letting people stream their music over the internet wasn't working out. Overall it's a fair system (and better than pretty much anything else). Get Over It.

From The Bit-Stream Dept
Slashdot | Ask BitTorrent's Bram Cohen

BitTorrent is an interesting technology - it downloads "random" bits of t the file until it has it all. This solves the "everybody has the first half of this" problem you get with other methods.

While the interview isn't overly fasinating, it is interesting perspective.




From the Not-Again Dept
raoli.com | Stone Cold

Rebutting a Cocoa vs Carbon article.

I knew this would come in handy someday... Evil Dilbert's Opinion on Objective-C




From The white-hats Dept:
Slashdot | Fyodor Answers Your Network Security Questions

One of the best X-Answers-Your-Questions I've ever seen over on Slashdot.

Probably should be required reading for anybody in the field.

Fyoder wrote Nmap the network security tool.




From The Fighting-The-MPAA Dept
Boing Boing|Austin EFF's Actions vs the MPAA.

Sounds like an interesting story - congrats men and women of the EFF!

From the Massive-Rant Dept

Gahhhh!!
